A vitamin-like substance important to every cell in the body.
How it Works Co-enzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance present in every cell of the body, and is vital for the production of cellular energy and cellular antioxidant protection. Within each cell, the mitochondria, where energy is produced, contain the most co-enzyme Q10. The heart and liver, being the most metabolically active organs, contain the most mitochondria per cell, and thus contain the greatest amount of co-enzyme Q10, too.
The body manufactures its own CoQ10. However, levels begin to naturally decline at around age 40. Not surprisingly, by age 50, and also those with heart disease, gum disease, obesity, or under chronic stress have low levels of CoQ10. With supplementation individuals are able to maintain their CoQ10 levels.
